Citizenship In Action
Would you like to have more influence in laws and rules that affect your life? Then you’ll want to go to Kansas 4-H Citizenship in Action! This two day event is sponsored by the State 4-H Youth Leadership Council. The purpose of the event is for Kansas youth to learn how the state legislative process works and how their voice and participation in decision-making can make a difference in their local communities. The legislative visit will not only familiarize youth with the capitol building, but will also show them how they can affect the legislative process.
When: February 16-17, 2025
Where: Topeka KS - Hotel Topeka at City Center (formerly Capitol Plaza)
Who: Youth 13-18 years old by January 1 of the current year

Registration now open for the K-State Junior Producer Days!
Since 2025 is an odd year, we will host Junior Swine Producer Day and Junior Meat Goat Producer Day (beef and sheep are in even years). Registration is now open and we look forward to seeing everyone in Manhattan in March!! All attendees must register, which includes all youth, parents, and adults. You must register by the deadline to receive a t-shirt. Information to register online is included below.
What are the junior producer days?
The junior producer day events are one-day family educational programs to learn about the selection and management of swine and/or meat goat youth livestock projects, as well as a variety of aspects related to the animal science industry. Each day is dedicated to one specie. These events are open to all ages and skill levels including youth, parents, extension agents, ag teachers, project leaders, and other volunteers. The tentative program and topics for each day are included on the flyers. This is a family event! Parents and youth are invited to come learn together!
Where will these events be hosted?
The 2025 K-State Junior Producer Days will be hosted at the Stanley Stout Center, which is in Manhattan, north of campus, near the KSU Sheep & Meat Goat Center and KSU Purebred Beef Unit. A map and more specific directions will be provided to families who register the week leading up to the event.
